{"product_id":"power-and-resistance-7th-ed-9781773635187","title":"Power and Resistance, 7th Ed.: Critical Thinking about Canadian Social Issues","description":"Power and Resistance debunks the dominant neoliberal, hyper-individualist approach to society's problems that sees poverty as a result of laziness, environmental crises as a result of market demands for products that pollute, and Indigenous Peoples' struggles as a result of not assimilating. We argue that it is social inequality and oppression that are the underlying causes of social problems. In a society like ours, powerful groups make choices that benefit them and force those choices onto others, creating life problems for others and society as a whole. The powerful also have influence over what is and is not called a \"social problem.\" Solving social problems requires changing the structures of inequality and oppression. For example, industrial corporate agriculture has created huge profits for a few gigantic food corporations but left much of the world hungry. But farmers and their allies are pushing back through agroecology -- an agriculture based on local, small-scale, ecologically sustainable farming that brings eaters and growers closer to one another. The seventh edition of Power and Resistance includes new chapters on anti-Black racism in schools, Indigenous people and mental health, food security and sovereignty, and work in the gig economy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Antony\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1773635182\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781773635187\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernwood Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.70w x 1.20d","brand":"Jessica Antony","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077262733567,"sku":"9781773635187","price":70.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4f09858b-a492-4355-96da-dfa2d76fdcc1.jpg?v=1685469058","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/power-and-resistance-7th-ed-9781773635187","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
